What 2gb. Are you looking at your 12 total? That's normal, the rest is being used by android

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Yes, I'd flash both
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Just amended my previous to ask:

" even though I'm presently on 4.4.1, after I flash the 4.4 img files, I have to use the 4.4 to 4.4.2 ota, not the 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 ota?"

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Yes. 4.4 to 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Cheers. I can flash in confidence :)
[Nexus 5 General] shogun656:
Really, cause this a 16gb device, I thought the memory used by android is the 3.5gb not shown which is why it says I only have 12.5gb usable memory

Have you made any nandroid backups? If so, its probably those.

it worked for 4.4.1 but now it wont work for 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] RodKahx:
I flashed 4.4.2 from 4.4.1 successfully using TWRP.

Edit. Sorry I assumed a baseline 4.4.1 backup was made
[Nexus 5 General] bobby janow:
Just got a notification.. " System update downloaded.. touch to install" So I assume this is 4.2.2 since I'm on 4.2.1. Please tell me how to proceed. I have custom CWR touch latest installed, all kinds of super su thingies going on and on my phone. I just don't want to lose root and recovery as I did last time and try to figure out, yet once again, what to do to get back. TIA.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If you have a lot of thingies it probably is not going to work. You will lose root
[Nexus 5 General] bobby janow:
Lol.. I mean I have superSU.zip on my phone so I can flash it. So I'll lose root, I'll fastboot my recovery.img, go into recovery and flash superSU and I'm good right? That's what I had to do last time in a panic. I just don't want to be in that panic mode again. It's late and I need my rest. :)) Don't tell me to wait until the morning. I need my coffee first then.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Sounds like you already know what to do
[Nexus 5 General] bobby janow:
Thank you sir. Just what I wanted to hear. Updated and done. Appreciate the confirmation.
[Nexus 5 General] Stay Frosty:
I tried to update before reading this thread and ran into trouble. :( I have build.prop and hosts file mods. Needless to say, the update failed. It just showed "error" with a picture of an android undergoing open heart surgery. No specifics. I restarted and the phone booted up to 4.4.

1) I wonder if this could have screwed up anything with my phone? i.e. Could 4.4.2 have been partially installed leaving me with a mix of 4.4 and 4.4.2?

2) When I go to recheck for the OTA, it says my system is up to date. Will it ever show up again? Or do I have to manually download it?

3) If I restore the build.prop and hosts file, will it work? I guess the question is what else may have been modified. I mean technically, a rooted app may be modifying the file system without me knowing, right?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You're fine, follow option c. Fastboot flash the system and boot image
[Nexus 5 General] nimfa:
I'm fully stock, and tried the first scenario, but when I try to boot recovery using adb I get the droid with red exclamation mark.

Nothing. Read the instructions again.

Anyone else having problems getting any sort of service after 4.2.2? I'm on Sprint and I have no service at all.

Dumb me, ok I did got into recovery but it says in the command prompt error device not found when I try to push the update.zip filw
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Did you open command from the same folder you have adb? If so, you may need to install the driver again while in recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] nimfa:
Yes I did. You mean the Google usb driver?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Yep.
[Nexus 5 General] yaron86:
the closest scenario for me is 2 but

the closest scenario for me is 2 but is says:

"Scenario #2

You are stock, with root. Custom Recovery without any modifications or deletions.

Continue to Section B"

i am stock with root 4.4.1 but with xposed modules modified

should i just disable all mods temporarily? and flash the update from recovery?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
You can uninstall xposed and try to flash the OTA. Some people have had success, some haven't. It all depends if /system files we're modified or not.

Any idea what is going on?

Can not believe I'm stuck on this last step , the only thing left was to push the update with adb damn
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
what? how can that help with 3G download :/

[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Flash the 4.4 system and boot images in fastboot. Then apply the update.

The reason you are seeing that error is either: you have deodexed your framework, or one of your root apps made some changes.

All of them.

*ANY* modifications to system files will cause the update to fail.

This may help someone

Hi ,

I was trying to do it for hours and after my nexus 5 get into recovery mode My windows 7 64bit can't recognize it and always stuck on device not found,tried differnt drivers, from android , LG with no luck ,

I came across this comment in one of the android blogs

by this user Sirajuddin.

it worked for me in my win7 64bit ,

1. update driver

2. "Let me pick a driver from the list"

3. select Android ADB interface

4. select LG sooner

and it worked

:D:D:D:D
[Nexus 5 General] patsimeon:
Pretty detailed question...

My Nexus 5 is currently on 4.4.1 (sideloaded), stock everything with SuperSU through CF Auto Root.

I had the following on it:

- Xposed Framework + MoDaCo Toolkit to enable volume wake

- Hidden Navbar with UDN Pro's 'Alternative (Dangerous)' Hide navbar by build.prop modification

- Pie navigation with LMT

- Installed busybox with Busybox Free

- Increased vibration to 100 with Vibration Config

- blocked ads with AdAway

- changed max clock speeds from 2.266 to 1.574GHz and governor from ondemand to conservative with No-frills CPU Control

The rest of my apps that accessed root are:

build.prop editor (never used since upgrading to 4.4.1)

Clean Master (has root access but I haven't used the app at all)

CPU Spy Plus

DataSync

FX File Explorer

Helium

Sixaxis Controller

Titanium Backup

(I guess another sort of mod that I had was 'Nexus Battery Percent Enabler')

Since I heard of the 4.4.2 OTA (which I have not received a notification for), I have reversed all the mods listed up top, and have revoked every single app's root access, which resulted in pretty much stock. This is what I did before I sideloaded 4.4.1. I had SuperSU's 'Survival Mode' on. I was able to keep root and everything worked out fine.

This time though, I want to try updating through an actual OTA notification. My question is, will I be getting the OTA notification, and if so, is it okay/safe for me to install it if I practice the same precautions? Will I again be able to keep root? I'm sort of worried I messed something up and that's why I haven't gotten the update notification yet.

Also, if it matters

, I didn't try the Xposed Framework + MoDaCo volume wake mod yet when I did the 4.4.1 sideload. If that has some sort of differential effect on my desired goal, please let me know.

Thanks in advance! (I tried to be as thorough as I can, lol)

Trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 ERROR 7

Hi everyone,

I tried to update this morning from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 after restoring stock from all mods ( I suppose I did it....).

I get the error message in CWM which says:

" /system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents

E: Error in data/media/=/download/537367d588afe31301268d0ace7e60725d5f6740.signed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KOT49E.537367d5.zip

(status7)

Installation aborted

What is the problem? Do I have to reflash stock again!?

Thanx so much, pals.

:good::good:
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Why would you go through that entire process when you can just flash the 4.4 stock system and boot images using fastboot, then apply the update hassle-free?

Steps:

1) Download the 4.4 to 4.4.2 update to /sdcard

2) Download SuperSU to /sdcard

3) Boot into bootloader and flash 4.4 system and boot images using fastboot

4) Boot into recovery and flash the update followed by SuperSU.

5) Reboot. Done. No data loss. Root still there. Custom recovery still there.

Flash the 4.4 system and boot images. See answer above.
[Nexus 5 General] patsimeon:
Thanks for your reply.

However, I'm on stock recovery (stock everything but rooted). I'm trying to stay with that. I can just sideload like what I did for 4.4.1, but like I said, I wanna wait for the OTA notification. I'm just not sure whether I'll be okay to do so. That's why I tried asking here.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
I'm feeling a bit silly here, but I cannot for the life of me get into the stock recovery menu. I can get to recovery but pressing power and up has no affect whatsoever! I know the up button works as I can turn the volume up when android is booted, and it works in the bootloader, but it doesn't seem to do anything in recovery.

Reason for doing this is to flash everything back from the factory image and then sideload the 4.2.2 OTA onto the phone. For the record, I can flash the OTA using CWM but I'm trying to do it with stock
[Nexus 5 General] styago:
Now I am feeling silly, too.

How do I flash via fastboot?! Never done that, I suppose. I boot into bootloader, but then I donno how to flash the images.....

Please, help me out with this.

Thanx!!

If you are running 4.4.1 all you have to do is press vol. up. Google removed a step with the 4.1.1 recovery. :)
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Literally just done it now, hold power, press volume whilst keeping power down. Boom!

Cannot apply OTA 4.4.2?

Ok guys I used CF AUTO to have completely stock, Unlocked bootloader, Rooted with no modification.

This morning got notification for new update 4.4.2 which I downloaded and tried to update each time it does about 5% then goes to ERROR with android laying down and a red triangle with exclamation point

I then did a factory reset to see if it made any difference but still no joy got the same error!! Now I don't understand what is going on here I have not made any changes to build prop or anything like that.:( To my understanding CF-Auto should not effect OTA update or am I wrong?

You have to authorize your computer for adb. It should pop up the first time you connect your phone.

If it doesn't, revoke authorization in developer options and try connect again.

Is there a better guide for doing this side loading stuff? I've looked at 2 different guides and they both look a little on the complicated side.

thanks a lot,finally a person that replies ,i didn't know i need to check phone as well lol
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Stock does not mean that you will erase your apps/data. Just flash the system and boot images, and all your apps and data will still be there.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Use this to get adb setup, use the slim version that's the easiest http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47156064. Setting up adb is the more complicated portion one you get that setup correctly it's very easy

One of the first things that guide says is "unlock the bootloader" I don't want to do that.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Skip that part. Just concentrate on getting adb setup. That's the only part of the guide you need.

So I will not lose pics and texts??... I'll back them up anyway of course....
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
You won't lose anything. Do you have adb/fastboot set up on your computer? You'll need to use fastboot commands while you're in bootloader mode

Device not found

Hello, I've been trying to get 4.41 update for my nexus 5. However when I followed instructions for sections A (since I'm stock and unrooted) and when I type "adb reboot recovery" in prompt window, I get "error device not found" I dont undestand why. I have debugging checked on my phone as well. Help will be greatly appreciated. Btw Im new to android phones.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
When you plug your phone into the usb do you get a allow usb debugging message on your phone and do you allow it?
[Nexus 5 General] yury20:
it says USB debugging connected "touch to disable USb debugging"

So I'm guessing its enabled. Thanks for a quick reply btw

Try changing the USB port.
[Nexus 5 General] yury20:
Still didn't work.
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Sounds to me like a driver issue.

What I would suggest is to uninstall (and delete <== this is important) all of your android-related drivers (including hidden ones) from your computer and install 1wayjonny's repack from here.

Make sure that when you right-click on the device and select "uninstall", that you also place a check in the "delete" box.
[Nexus 5 General] yury20:
I don't know how to delete "all related android drivers". This is my first android phone. Maybe you think I should wait till 4.412 update hits my phone? Im still running on 4.4 and I don't know how long it takes updates to come on my phone. Some people got 4.412 and I'm still on 4.4
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Deleting drivers has nothing to do with Android. It is Windows. You open up "Device Manager", select "Show hidden devices" from the view menu, and then right-click on each one that has anything to do with your phone, and select uninstall.
[Nexus 5 General] ImAnurag:
Sorry to ask this but I am getting the same error. "Can not read the file" I named my file as "update" and when I entered command : adb sideload update.zip IT SAYS Can not read the while.

ANY SOLUTION that works ?
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
To be on the safe side, I would uninstall first, reboot, then plug your device in.

When it asks you to install the driver, select "let me choose...blah blah" and then click "have disk" and browse to where you extracted the driver I linked to earlier. It should install. Then reboot. (If you are using Win 8/8.1, you have to follow these steps first before attempting to install.)
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
When you are at the command prompt, type: dir

What do you see?
[Nexus 5 General] yury20:
Ok thanks for all your help!:good:
[Nexus 5 General] ImAnurag:
This is what I see - Image attached screenshot.

I have added two files <ota.zip> and <update.zip> just for checking but while sideloading it can't ready any.

On a side not I disabled the system apps I don't care fore ... Google+, news and weather... Etc... Can I back them up with titanium backup... And restore them in the future... So I don't need to go this route again when there is a system update?

[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Is your device booted into the stock recovery and the proper option selected from the recovery menu (i.e., "apply update from adb")?
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
I guess, but why not just leave them disabled. No need to do anything else. As long as you don't delete them.
[Nexus 5 General] ImAnurag:
yes phone booted > option chosen "apply update from adb" chosen > then typed the command. Trying this from an hour getting error again and again :(
[Nexus 5 General] GameOver69:
Yes I know that but just annoys me that they still HAVE to be installed. I know they don't take up much space.. But I'd rather not have them there at all.
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
You do realize that you don't recoup the space if you delete them right? They are on the system partition, not on the userdata partition, so you do not gain that space back unless you are installing things to your system partition. Check your storage space, then delete as many of them of the apps as you want, then check your storage space -- no change.
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
I really have no clue. Is your bootloader unlocked?

If so, what I would do is download the update to your device, download the latest version of TWRP to your PC and rename it to twrp, reboot into the bootloader, then in your command prompt type: "fastboot boot twrp.zip" without the quotes and then flash the update that way. you will still have the stock recovery, as you are only temporarily booting TWRP.
[Nexus 5 General] ImAnurag:
No bootloader is locked for now. I guess wait for OTA notification.
[Nexus 5 General] bizmaz:
I still in stock 4.4 and there is no OTA update available:(

Even though i have root + open bootloader + costume recovery ? By the way thank you very much for your fast answers
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
I believe you will need to downloading it on your own then flash through recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Unlocked bootloader has no affect on the OTA. Root can sometimes cause issues. The newest recoveries should be able to handle the OTA.

The initial OTA in my phone flashed automatically with twrp.
[Nexus 5 General] ohad123454:
Ok but the the update will be released i will be able to update like everyone else ? In the same day?

So I'll be able to update the next updates?
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
I have a question for you... when you say

Section B: Flashing in a Custom Recovery (TWRP- CWM)

1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.

2) Boot into recovery.

3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.

4) Reboot.

Do you mean go into TWRP, factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik THEN flash OTA? Or just flash as you would for a mod.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Just choose the file and flash it. No need to wipe.
